May 25, 2026 · Chemico-biological interactions
Key takeaway
**Black phosphorus may help specifically target and kill colon cancer cells while leaving healthy cells alone. This is important because it could lead to new, more effective treatments for colon cancer in our community.**
Why this matters for our communities
Research in cancer helps close long-standing gaps in how Black and African American families are studied, diagnosed, and cared for. Use findings like this one to start informed conversations with your care team — not as a substitute for personal medical advice.
